And now we’ve got follow-up. Lionheart: Dark Moon is a story-driven strategy RPG in which you have to drive away the Darkness by destroying the Shards of Whisper.

Out of nowhere, like a monster from another dimension, Stranger Things: The Game has appeared on the Google Play store, and it looks great.
Presumably intended to raise awareness of the series ahead of Stranger Things season two, which is due to hit Netflix later this month, Stranger Things: The Game is a retro top-down action adventure game that wouldn’t have looked entirely out of place in its historical setting of 1984.
